MRD 3 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Is this in the correct section? What do you guys feed your free range laying Hens on through out the Winter? Wheat? Crushed Wheat? Corn? Layers Pellets? I've a mixed bunch of hens; Indian game, Wellsummers, Light sussex and ..... Warrens (Hybrids). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevegg 0 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I feed mine layers pellets all year round but they are free ranging as well. They help themselves to windfall apples and other stuff too. Kev. P.S. Don't get many bloody eggs though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a pair of Shamo in the same pen living very happy together untill after not having any eggs for a while I noticed the Shamo's breaking the eggs so... I sold them at the weekend and bought a young Indian game cockrel and Hen to go with my other 2 Indian hens. Now fingers crossed that I may start getting at least a few eggs a day.
